यन्न म्रियेत द्रुमयोरन्तरं प्राप्य बालक: । असावन्यतमो वापि तदप्यच्युतरक्षणम् ॥ २६ ॥
yan na mriyeta drumayor antaraṁ prāpya bālakaḥ asāv anyatamo vāpi tad apy acyuta-rakṣaṇam

FAQs
This verse attributes the child’s survival—even in a seemingly fatal situation—to Acyuta’s direct protection, emphasizing that the Lord safeguards His own beyond ordinary causality.

Cultivate steady remembrance and trust that the Lord’s protection operates even when outcomes seem uncertain, while continuing one’s duties with humility and devotion.
